Enabling and Disabling File Versioning
======================================

File versioning is done on a per-folder basis, and will also version any
subfolders in a versioned folder (so once a parent folder is chosen for versioning,
no subfolder will need versioning -it's implied...) If you do not want to have
versioning of a subfolder, "skip" directives can be specified for the
parent folder, with a path wildcard specifying the subfolders to be skipped
(examples are shown in the :ref:`"skip" <skip>` configuration directives
section...)

After installation of repliversion, file versioning can be enabled for a folder
in the Dolphin file manager by right-clicking on a folder and choosing "Actions",
then "Enable Versioning..." from what is called the "context menu".

File versioning will persist from one system startup to another, until
it is disabled by right-clicking on the folder in Dolphin and choosing "Actions",
then "Disable Versioning..."

Provided repliversion file versioning has not been manually or unexpectedly
stopped, a "double folder" icon should indicate in Dolphin whether versioning
is active for a folder.
